What is Soybean Seed-coat Permeability as Related to Seed Deterioration, Fungal Association, and Seed Size about?

An impermeable seed coat prevents a seed from imbibing water. The value of the impermeable seed coat in preventing seed deterioration and fungal incidence was investigated. The importance of seed size and harvest method on seed permeability was also studied. When harvested 30 days after maturity, germination of seeds from an impermeable-seed line (8735) was higher than seeds of a normal-seed cultivar, if cultivar plants did not receive field-applied benomyl. Germination of 8735 seeds was also higher than seeds of the cultivar after 3 months of adverse storage (270C, 90% RH) irrespective of field-applied benomyl. Permeability of impermeable seeds increased under delayed harvest and storage conditions. In another study, seeds from two impermeable seed lines, harvested at maturity and 2 months later were compared with seeds from a cultivar which had received biweekly benomyl treatments. Seeds from both lines varied in degree of permeability. After 2 months of delayed harvest, the least permeable seeds did not decrease in viability or increase in incidence of Phomopsis spp. Fusarium spp., or bacteria. Benomyl-treated cultivar seeds were higher in viability than the most permeable seeds
